Puddle Jumping!

To start off with, a little update.

Finals are next week, and this week has been crazy! Sure, it's "no test week"...but all the teachers have assigned papers and projects up the wazoo to make up for it. 'Tis a shame, such a shame. Luckily I only have two finals (technically) next week, but i have a few 10 page papers due as well. Pretty bad timing for the library website to quit working for a whole day! Well, hopefully it'll be back up tomorrow, and this weekend should be fun-filled with studying and paper writing galore...

But!

In just one week, I'll be done with all my assignments and tests, and it'll be summer! Wahoo!

Anywho, on another note, one day a few weeks ago our neighbor Amanda and Jackie and I noticed that it was slightly drizzling outside, not very warmly but better than snow nonetheless, and since Amanda is an avid puddle-jumper, out into the rain we went! We were rather soaked, but not really since the rain wasn't very intense. It was extremely cold - Jackie and I were wearing flip flops...we couldn't feel our feet! But it was worth it, a nice stress reliever, and we even got a car to drive through a puddle and splash us :)

Here's the after effects:
(that last one is kind of a creepy Tara face. haha. sorry)

yeah.. you can't really tell how wet we are. But it was way fun!

Recently the weather has been awesome. Warm and breezy and absolutely beautiful! Hopefully it'll be like that again tomorrow, so I can go study out there :) I'm really excited for the semester to end, and to have a month of freedom (and then to France for more school, which I can't really say is bad cause, let's face it, it's way cool!)

Finally, I have a concert this Saturday. Our school's two choirs (Chorale and Chamber Singers) along with the American Festival Chorus and the USU symphony orchestra are attempting to perform Beethoven's Ninth Symphony. It's quite the adventure! If anyone cares to experience this, or can, or is interested in knowing the facts about it despite their lack of desire to come ;) it's going to be at 7:30 pm in USU's Kent Concert Hall. $5 or free with student ID. Come enjoy a very lovely cultural experience! It's sure to be quite the concert.

Anyway that's all I've got for today. And now I need to go continue my studying! (Just keep swimming, just keep swimming...)
